As embodied in the title of the paper strong and weak variants of continuity that lie strictly between strong continuity of Levine and almost continuity due to Singal and Singal are considered. Basic properties of almost completely continuous functions ( R-maps) and δ-continuous functions are studied. Direct and inverse transfer of topological properties under almost completely continuous functions and δ-continuous functions are investigated and their place in the hierarchy of variants of continuity that already exist in the literature is outlined.

2 30 J. K. Kohli and D. Singh 1. Introduction Several weak, strong and other variants of continuity occur in the lore of mathematical literature and arise in diverse situations in mathematics and applications of mathematics. In 1960, Levine [18] introduced the concept of a strongly continuous function. Ever since then several strong variants of continuity have been introduced and studied by host of authors, which in general are stronger than continuity but weaker than strong continuity of Levine. One such variant of continuity is complete continuity due to Arya and Gupta [1]. In this paper we elaborate on a generalization of complete continuity called almost complete continuity ( R-maps [3]) which is independent of continuity but stronger than δ-continuity initiated by Noiri [23]. We study basic properties of almost completely continuous functions and δ-continuous functions and discuss their interplay and interrelations with other variants of continuity that already exist in the mathematical literature. We reflect upon their place in the hierarchy of variants of continuity that lie strictly between strong continuity and almost continuity [32]. It turns out that the class of almost completely continuous functions properly contains the class of almost perfectly continuous ( regular set connected) functions defined by Dontchev, Ganster and Reilly ([4] [36]), and so includes the class of δ-perfectly continuous functions [13]; and is strictly contained in the class of δ-continuous functions, which in turn is properly contained in the class of almost continuous functions introduced by Singal and Singal [32]. The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 is devoted to basic definitions and preliminaries. In Section 3, we elaborate on the place of almost complete continuity in the hierarchy of variants of continuity that already exist in the literature. Therein examples are given to reflect upon the distinctiveness of the variants of continuity so discussed. Basic properties of almost completely continuous functions and δ-continuous functions are discussed in Section 4, and Section 5 is devoted to the study of preservance / interplay of topological properties under almost completely continuous functions and δ-continuous functions. 2. Preliminaries and basic definitions A subset A of a space X is said to be regular open if it is the interior of its closure, i.e., A = A 0. The complement of a regular open set is referred to as a regular closed set. A union of regular open sets is called δ-open [39]. The complement of a δ-open set is referred to as a δ-closed set. A subset A of a space X is called a regular G δ -set [19] if A is the intersection of a sequence of closed sets whose interiors contain A, i.e., if A = F n = Fn o, where each F n is a closed subset of X. The complement of a regular G δ -set is called a regular F σ -set. A subset A of a space X is said to be semiopen if A 0 A A 0. A subset A of a space X is said to be cl-open [35] if for each x A there exists a clopen set H such that x H A, or equivalently, n=1 n=1
3 Between strong continuity and almost continuity 31 A is expressible as a union of clopen sets. The complement of a cl-open set is referred to as a cl-closed set. Definitions 2.1. A function f : X Y from a topological space X into a topological space Y is said to be (a) strongly continuous [18] if f( A) A for all A X. (b) perfectly continuous ([24], [16]) if f 1 (V ) is clopen in X for every open set V Y. (c) δ-perfectly continuous [13] if for each δ-open set V in Y, f 1 (V ) is a clopen set in X. (d) almost perfectly continuous [36] ( regular set connected [4]) if f 1 (V ) is clopen in X for every regular open set V in Y. (e) cl-supercontinuous [35] ( clopen continuous [27]) if for each x X and each open set V containing f(x) there is a clopen set U containing x such that f(u) V. (f) almost cl-supercontinuous [12] ( almost clopen continuous [7]) if for each x X and each regular open set V containing f(x) there is a clopen set U containing x such that f(u) V. (g) z-supercontinuous [9] if for each x X and for each open set V containing f(x), there exists a cozero set U containing x such that f(u) V. (h) almost z-supercontinuous [17] if for each x X and each regular open set V containing f(x), there exists a cozero set U containing x such that f(u) V. (i) D δ -supercontinuous [11] if for each x X and for each open set V containing f(x), there exists a regular F σ -set U containing x such that f(u) V. (j) almost D δ -supercontinuous [17] if for each x X and each regular open set V containing f(x), there exists a regular F σ -set U containing x such that f(u) V. (k) D-supercontinuous [10] if for each x X and each open set V containing f(x) there exists an open F σ -set U containing x such that f(u) V. (l) D -supercontinuous [34] if for each x X and each open set V containing f(x) there exists a strongly open F σ -set U containing x such that f(u) V. (m) strongly θ-continuous [23] if for each x X and for each open set V containing f(x), there exists an open set U containing x such that f(u) V. (n) supercontinuous [22] if for each x X and for each open set V containing f(x), there exists a regular open set U containing x such that f(u) V. (o) almost strongly θ- continuous [26] if for each x X and for each regular open set V containing f(x), there exists an open set U containing x such that f(u) V. (p) δ-continuous [23] if for each x X and for each regular open set V containing f(x), there exists a regular open set U containing x such that f(u) V.

(r) completely continuous [1] if f 1 (V ) is a regular open set in X for every open set V Y. Definitions 2.2. A space X is said to be endowed with a/an (a) partition topology [37] if every open set in X is closed. (b) δ-partition topology [13] if every δ-open set in X is closed or equivalently every δ-closed set in X is open. (c) almost partition topology [36] if every regular open set in X is closed. (d) extremally disconnected topology if the closure of every open set in X is open in X. It turns out that the notions of almost partition topology and extremally disconnected topology are identical notions. Moreover, partition topology δ-partition topology almost partition topology ( extremally disconnected topology) However, none of the above implications is reversible. For, let X be an infinite (uncountable) set equipped with a cofinite (cocountable) topology. Then the topology of X is a δ-partition topology which is not a partition topology. For an example of an almost partition topology which is not a δ-partition topology consider a Hausdorff extremally disconnected crowded space (i.e., a space with no isolated points) X (see for example Eric K. Van Douwen [5, Example 3.3]). Then for each x X, the set X {x} is a cl-open set and so δ-open but not clopen. Thus the topology of X is an almost partition topology which is not a δ-partition topology. 3. Almost completely continuous functions ( R-maps) 1 A function f : X Y from a topological space X into a topological space Y is said to be an almost completely continuous function if f 1 (V ) is a regular open set in X for every regular open set V in Y or equivalently f 1 (F) is a regular closed set in X for every regular closed set F in Y. The following two diagrams well illustrate the place of almost complete continuity and δ-continuity in the hierarchy of variants of continuity that already exist in the mathematical literature and are related to the theme of the present paper. However, none of the implications is reversible as is shown by examples in ([13] [14] [15] and [17]) or follow from the definitions or observations/examples outlined in the following paragraphs. 1 Carnahan [2] in his doctoral dissertation referred to almost completely continuous functions as R-maps (also see Noiri [25], Kohli [8]). The present nomenclature appears to be more appropriate as it represents a weak variant of complete continuity [1].

6 34 J. K. Kohli and D. Singh Observations and Examples: 3.1 Let X be endowed with a partition topology. Then every continuous function f : X Y is perfectly continuous and hence completely continuous. 3.2 Let X be endowed with a partition topology. Then every almost continuous function f : X Y is almost perfectly continuous ( regular set connected) and so almost completely continuous. 3.3 Let X be endowed with an almost partition topology. If f : X Y is almost completely continuous, then f is almost perfectly continuous. 3.4 Let X be endowed with a δ-partition topology. If f : X Y is δ- continuous, then it is δ-perfectly continuous and so almost perfectly continuous and hence almost completely continuous. 3.5 If X is equipped with a δ-partition topology and if f : X Y is supercontinuous, then f is perfectly continuous. 3.6 If X is a zero dimensional space, then every almost continuous function f : X Y is almost cl-supercontinuous but not necessarily almost completely continuous. 3.7 Let X = {a, b, c, d} and let the topology τ on X be given by τ = {φ, X, {a, b}}. Let Y be the two points Sierpinski space {0, 1} with {0} as the only non empty proper open subset of Y and let f : X Y be defined by f(a) = f(b) = 0 and f(c) = f(d) = 1. Then f is a continuous function which is almost completely continuous but not completely continuous. 3.8 The function f : R R given by f(x) = x 2 is a z-supercontinuous function which is not almost completely continuous, since V = (0, 1) is a regular open set but is not a regular open set. 3.9 Let X be the real line endowed with the usual topology and let Y be the real line with cofinite topology. Then the identity function from X onto Y is δ-perfectly continuous and so almost completely continuous but not completely continuous Let X = Y be the real line equipped with the usual topology. Then the identity function defined on X is z-supercontinuous, almost completely continuous but neither completely continuous nor almost perfectly continuous Let X denote the set of rationals endowed with usual topology and f denote the identity mapping defined on X. Then f is cl-supercontinuous but not almost completely continuous. So f is δ-continuous but not almost completely continuous Let X denote the space considered by Douwen [5, Example 3.3] which is a Hausdorff extremally disconnected crowded space whose topology is not a δ-partition topology. Then the identity function defined on X is almost perfectly continuous but not δ-perfectly continuous. We may recall that a space X is almost locally connected [20] if for each x X and each regular open set U containing x there exists an open connected set V containing x such that V U. Vincent J. Mancuso in his studies on almost locally connected spaces proved that an open, almost continuous function is
7 Between strong continuity and almost continuity 35 almost completely continuous (see [20, Lemma 3.17]). In consequence, almost local connectedness is preserved under open almost continuous surjections [20, Theorem 3.18]. Moreover, since such functions map connected sets to connected sets the assumption of connectedness of map in Theorem 3.18 of Mancuso [20] is superfluous. 4. Basic properties of almost completely continuous and δ-continuous functions. Theorem 4.1. If f : X Y and g : Y Z are almost completely continuous functions, then so is their composition. Theorem 4.2. If f : X Y is an almost completely continuous function and g : Y Z is a completely continuous function, then their composition g f is completely continuous. Proof. Let W be an open set in Z. Since g is completely continuous, g 1 (W) is a regular open set in Y. In view of almost complete continuity of f, f 1 (g 1 (W)) = (g f) 1 (W) is a regular open set and so g f is completely continuous. We may recall that a function f : X Y is almost open [32] if the image of every regular open set in X is open in Y. Theorem 4.3. If f : X Y is an almost open surjection and g : Y Z is a function such that g f is almost completely continuous, then g is almost continuous. Further, if in addition f maps regular open sets to regular open sets, then g is an almost completely continuous function. Proof. Let V be any regular open set in Z. Since g f is almost completely continuous, (g f) 1 (V ) = f 1 (g 1 (V )) is regular open set in X. Again, since f is an almost open surjection, f(f 1 (g 1 (V ))) = g 1 (V ) is open in Y and so g is almost continuous. The last assertion is immediate, since in this case g 1 (V ) is a regular open set and so g is almost completely continuous. The following lemma is due to Singal and Singal [32] and will be useful in the sequel to follow. Lemma 4.4 ([32]). Let {X α : α Λ} be a family of spaces and let X = X α be the product space. If x = (x α ) X and V is a regular open set containing x, then there exists a basic regular open set V α such that x V α V, where V α is a regular open set in X α for each α Λ and V α = X α for all except finitely many α 1, α 2,..., α n Λ. The next result shows that if a function into a product space is almost completely continuous, then its composition with each projection map is almost completely continuous. Theorem 4.5. Let {f α : X X α : α Λ} be a family of functions and let f : X α Λ X α be defined by f(x) = (f α (x)) for each x X. If f is almost completely continuous, then each f α is almost completely continuous. Further, if each f α is almost completely continuous, then f is δ-continuous.
8 36 J. K. Kohli and D. Singh Proof. For each α Λ, let Π α : X α X α denote the projection map. To show that each f β is almost completely continuous, let V be any regular open set in X β. Then for each β Λ, Π 1 β (V ) = X α V is a regular open set in X α and so each Π β is almost completely continuous. Now, since for each β Λ, f β = Π β f, the result is immediate in view of Theorem 4.1. Further, suppose that each f α is almost completely continuous. To show that f is δ-continuous, it suffices to show that f 1 (V ) is δ-open for every regular open set V in the product space X α. In view of Lemma 4.4, V is expressible as a union of basic regular open sets of the form V α, where each V α is a regular open set in X α and V α = X α for all but finitely many α 1, α 2,...,a n Λ. So f 1 (V ) = f 1 ( V α ) = f 1 ( V α ) = ( n fα 1 i (V αi )). Since each f α is almost completely continuous, each n i=1 being a union of regular open sets is δ-open. α β i=1 f 1 α i (V αi ) is regular open and so f 1 (V ) Theorem 4.6. Let f : X Y be a function and g : X X Y, defined by g(x) = (x, f(x)) for each x X, be the graph function. If g is almost completely continuous, then f is almost completely continuous. Further, if f is almost completely continuous, then g is δ-continuous. Proof. Suppose that g is almost completely continuous. First we observe that the projection map p y : X Y Y is almost completely continuous. For if V is a regular open set in Y, then p 1 y (V ) = X V is a regular open set in X Y and so the projection p y is almost completely continuous. Hence by Theorem 4.1 the composition p y g = f is almost completely continuous. Now suppose that f is almost completely continuous. Then in view of Lemma 4.4, every regular open set V in the product space X Y is a union of basic regular open sets of the form U α V α, where each and U α and V α are regular open sets in X and Y, respectively. Then g 1 (V ) = g 1 ( (U α V α )) = g 1 (U α V α ) = (U α f 1 (V α )). Since f is almost completely continuous, each U α f 1 (V α ) is regular open and so g 1 (V ) being a union of regular open sets is δ-open. Theorem 4.7. Let {f α : X α Y α : α Λ} be a family of functions. Let f : X α Y α be defined by f((x α )) = (f α (x α )) for each (x α ) in X α. If f is almost completely continuous, then each f α is almost completely continuous. Further, if each f α is almost completely continuous, then f is δ-continuous. Proof. For each α Λ, let p α : X α X α and q α : Y α Y α denote the projection maps. Then in view of definition of f, it follows that q α f = f α p α for each α Λ. To show that f α is almost completely continuous, let F be a regular closed set in Y α. Then qα 1(F) = ( Y β ) F is a regular closed set in Y α. Since f is almost completely continuous f 1 (qα 1 (F)) is a regular closed set in X α. But f 1 (qα 1(F)) = (q α f) 1 (F) = (f α p α ) 1 (F) = β α
9 p 1 1 α (fα (F)) = ( β α Between strong continuity and almost continuity 37 X β ) fα 1 1 (F) and so fα (F) is a regular closed set in X α and thus f α is almost completely continuous. To prove the last part of the theorem, we observe that in view of Lemma 4.4 every regular open set V in the product space Y α is the union of basic regular open sets of the form V α, where each V α Y α is regularly open and V α = Y α for all except finitely many α 1, α 2,..., α n Λ. Thus f 1 (V ) is the union of sets of the form fα 1 (V α ), where each fα 1 (V α ) is a regular open set in X α fα 1(V α) is a basic and f 1 α (V α) = X α for all α except α 1, α 2,..., α n and so α regular open set in the product space X α. Thus f 1 (V ) being the union of regular open sets is a δ-open set. Theorem 4.8. Let f, g : X Y be δ-continuous functions from a space X into a Hausdorff space Y. Then the equalizer E = {x X : f(x) = g(x)} of the functions f and g is a δ-closed set in X. Proof. To show that E is δ-closed, we shall show that its complement X \ E is a δ-open subset of X. To this end, let x X \ E. Then f(x) g(x). Since Y is Hausdorff, there exist disjoint open sets V and W containing f(x) and g(x), respectively. Then V 1 = V 0 and W 1 = W 0 are disjoint regular open sets containing f(x) and g(x), respectively. Since f and g are δ-continuous functions, U = f 1 (V 1 ) g 1 (W 1 ) is a δ-open set containing x which is contained in X \ E and so X \ E is δ-open. Corollary 4.9. Let f, g : X Y be an almost completely continuous functions from X into a Hausdorff space Y. Then the equalizer E = {x X : f(x) = g(x)} of the functions f and g is a δ-closed set in X. Theorem (Noiri [23, Theorem 5.2]): Let f : X Y be a δ-continuous function into a Hausdorff space Y. Then G(f) the graph of f is a δ-closed subset of X Y. Corollary Let f : X Y be an almost completely continuous function into a Hausdorff space Y. Then G(f) the graph of f is a δ-closed subset of X Y. 5. Preservation/interplay of topological properties Connectedness is preserved by functions satisfying fairly mild continuity conditions (see [12, p. 9]) and so it is preserved under δ-continuous functions and hence under almost completely continuous functions. Next we consider the transfer of separation properties under δ-continuous functions and almost completely continuous functions. First we quote the following definitions.
10 38 J. K. Kohli and D. Singh Definition 5.1. A topological space X is said to be a (i) δt 1 -space ([7] 2, [12]) if for each pair of distinct points x and y in X there exist regular open sets U and V containing x and y, respectively such that y U and x V. (ii) δt 0 -space [12] if for each pair of distinct points x and y in X there exists a regular open set containing one of the points x and y but not the other. The following implications are either well known (see [40]) or immediate from definitions. Hausdorff space δt 1 -space δt 0 -space KC US T 1 -space T 0 -space However, none of the above implications is reversible (see [12], [40]). Proposition 5.2. Let f : X Y be a δ-continuous injection. If Y is a δt 0 -space or a δt 1 -space or a Hausdorff space, then so is X. Definition 5.3. A topological space X is said to be (a) almost regular [30] if every regular closed set and a point outside it are contained in disjoint open sets. (b) almost completely regular [31] if for every δ-closed set F in X and a point x F there exists a continuous function f : X [0, 1] such that f(x) = 0 and f(f) = 1. (c) mildly normal [33] if every pair of disjoint regular closed sets are contained in disjoint open sets. (d) nearly paracompact [29] if every regular open cover of X has a locally finite open refinement. (e) nearly compact [28] if every open cover of X admits a finite subcollection the interiors of the closures of whose members cover X. (f) S-closed [38] if every semi open cover of X has a finite subcollection whose closures cover X or equivalently, every regular closed cover of X has a finite subcover (see [2]). Proposition 5.4. Every (almost) completely continuous function defined on a Hausdorff (or almost regular) S-closed space is (almost) perfectly continuous. Proof. : Let f : X Y be an (almost) completely continuous function from a Hausdorff (or almost regular) S-closed space X into a space Y and let V be any (regular) open subset of Y. Since f is (almost) completely continuous, f 1 (V ) is a regular open set in X. Now, since a Hausdorff (or almost regular) S-closed space is extremally disconnected (see [38, Theorem 7] and [21, Theorem 3]) and since in an extremally disconnected space every regular open set is clopen, f 1 (V ) is a clopen set in X and so f is (almost) perfectly continuous. 2 Ekici calls δt1 -spaces as r-t 1 -space in [7].
11 Between strong continuity and almost continuity 39 Theorem 5.5. Let f : X Y be a δ-continuous closed surjection defined on an almost regular space X. If either f is open or f 1 (y) is compact for each y Y, then Y is an almost regular space. If in addition Y is a semiregular space, then Y is regular. Proof. Case I: f is open. Let F be a regularly closed set in Y such that y F. Then f 1 (F) f 1 (y) = φ and in view of δ-continuity of f, f 1 (F) is a δ-closed set. Let x f 1 (y). In view of almost regularity of X, there exist disjoint open sets U and V containing x and f 1 (F), respectively. Then since f is a closed surjection, f(u) and Y \ f(x \ V ) are disjoint open sets containing y and F, respectively. Case II: f 1 (y) is compact for each y Y. Since X is almost regular, there exist disjoint open sets U and V containing f 1 (y) and f 1 (F), respectively. Since f is closed, the sets Y \ f(x \ U) and Y \ f(x\v ) are disjoint open sets containing y and F, respectively. The last assertion is immediate in view of the fact that a space is regular if and only if it is semiregular and almost regular [30]. Corollary 5.6. Let f : X Y be an almost completely continuous closed surjection defined on an almost regular space X. If either f is open or f 1 (y) is compact for each y Y, then Y is an almost regular space. Theorem 5.7. Let f : X Y be an open, closed, δ-continuous surjection. If X is an almost completely regular space, then so is Y. Further, if Y is a semiregular space, then Y is completely regular. Proof. To prove that Y is almost completely regular, let F be a regular closed set in Y such that y F. Since f is δ-continuous, f 1 (F) is a δ-closed set in X. Let x f 1 (y). In view of almost complete regularity of X, There exists a continuous real valued function ϕ : X [0, 1] such that ϕ : X [0, 1] such that ϕ(f 1 (F)) = 0 and ϕ(x) = 1. Define ˆϕ : Y [0, 1] by taking ˆϕ(y) = sup{ϕ(x) : x f 1 (y)} for each y Y. Then ˆϕ(y) = 1, ˆϕ(F) = 0 and by [6, p.96, Exercise 16] ˆϕ is continuous. Hence Y is almost completely regular. The last assertion is immediate in view of the fact that a space is completely regular if and only if it is semiregular and almost completely regular [31]. Corollary 5.8. Let f : X Y be an open, closed, almost completely continuous surjection. If X is an almost completely regular space, then so is Y. Theorem 5.9. Let f : X Y be an almost completely continuous closed surjection. If X is a mildly normal space, then so is Y. Proof. Let A and B be any two disjoint regular closed subsets of Y. In view of almost complete continuity of f, f 1 (A) and f 1 (B) are disjoint regular closed subsets of X. Since X is mildly normal, there exist disjoint open sets U and V containing f 1 (A) and f 1 (B), respectively. Again, since f is closed, the sets f(x \ U) and f(x \ V ) are closed sets. It is easily verified that the sets Y \ (X \ U) and Y \ f(x \ V ) are disjoint open sets containing A and B, respectively and so Y is mildly normal.
12 40 J. K. Kohli and D. Singh Theorem Let f : X Y be a δ-continuous surjection from a nearly compact space X onto Y. Then Y is nearly compact. Further, if in addition Y is semiregular, then Y is compact. Proof. Let U = {U α α } be a regular open cover of Y. Since f is δ- continuous, the collection V = {f 1 (U α ) α } is a δ-open cover of X. In view of near compactness of X there exists a finite subcollection {f 1 (U αi ) : i = 1,..., n} of V which covers X. Since f is a surjection, the finite subcollection {U α1,...,u αn } of U covers Y and so Y is nearly compact. A semiregular nearly compact space is compact [28]. Theorem 5.11 ([21, Theorems 3 and 4]). An almost regular (or Hausdorff) space is S-closed if and only if it is nearly compact and extremally disconnected. Theorem Let f : X Y be an almost completely continuous closed surjection from a nearly compact (S-closed) space X. Then Y is nearly compact (S-closed). Further, if in addition Y is almost regular (or Hausdorff), then Y is nearly compact and extremally disconnected. Proof. Near compactness of Y is immediate in view of Theorem To prove that Y is S-closed whenever X is S-closed, let U = {U α α } be a regular closed cover of Y. Since f is almost completely continuous, the collection V = {f 1 (U α ) α } is a regular closed cover of X. Again, since X is S- closed there exists a finite subcollection {f 1 (U αi ) : i = 1,...,n} of V which covers X. Since f is a surjection, the finite subcollection {U α1,..., U αn } of U covers Y and so Y is S-closed. Moreover, if Y is almost regular (or Hausdorff), then in view of Theorem 5.11, Y is an extremally disconnected space. Theorem Let f : X Y be a closed, δ-continuous, almost open surjection such that f 1 (y) is compact for each y Y. If X is a nearly paracompact space, then so is Y. Moreover, if Y is semiregular, then Y is paracompact. Proof. Let V = {V α : α Λ} be a regular open cover of Y. In view of δ- continuity of f,a = {f 1 (V α ) : α Λ} is a δ open cover of X. Let B = {U β : β Γ} be the natural regular open refinement of A covering X. Since X is nearly paracompact, there exists a locally finite open refinement {W δ : δ Ω} of B. Since each U β is regularly open, it is easily verified that each W δ may be chosen to be regularly open and so in view of almost openness of f, each f(w δ ) is open. Again, since f is a closed function such that f 1 (y) is compact for each y Y, it maps every locally finite collection to a locally finite collection and hence {f(w δ ) : δ Ω} is a locally finite open refinement of V. Thus Y is nearly paracompact. The last assertion is immediate, since a semiregular almost paracompact space is paracompact [29]. Corollary Let f : X Y be a closed, almost completely continuous, almost open surjection such that f 1 (y) is compact for each y Y. If X is a nearly paracompact space, then so is Y.
13 Between strong continuity and almost continuity 41 Theorem Let f : X Y be an almost completely continuous surjection which maps clopen sets to clopen sets. If X is an extremally disconnected space, then so is Y. Further, if in addition Y is nearly compact, then Y is S-closed and almost regular. Proof. Suppose X is extremally disconnected. To show that Y is extremally disconnected, it suffices to prove that every regular open set in Y is clopen. To this end, let V be a regular open set in Y. In view of almost complete continuity of f, f 1 (V ) is a regular open in X. Since X is extremally disconnected, f 1 (V ) is a clopen set in X. Again, since f is a surjection which maps clopen sets to clopen sets, V = f(f 1 (V )) is a clopen set in Y and so Y is extremally disconnected. For what remains we need only note that every extremally disconnected space is almost regular and so the space Y is S-closed in view of Theorem References [1] S. P. Arya and R.
